Spiders; the creepy insects with eight legs.
Though there are over 40,000 different species of spiders, each is different in its each individual way. They may scare you, or even interest you, they are majestic creature and masters of architecture. With web designs ranging from funnels to flat sheets, to even none at all, they manage to capture prey with skill full stealth and agility.
Even though the thought of these creepy critters strikes fear in many, the title is undeserved. Spiders usually don't attack unless defending themselves, their young, or their territory. Even the deadliest: the Black Widow refrains from attacking unless being squished. However, some do attack at random, as I was a few hours ago.
I was bitten by what I believe was either a sac spider, or a housing crab spider. Right now I'm not very sure as it was brief and I squished it the second I felt it. However, the bite has developed into a bit of what would appear to be a mosquito bite, however that is just the early stages of the sac spiders bite. It is fairly itchy.
So I have come to ask you, what is your take on the title that spiders have been given, and what causes you to think this?
And thus, I leave you with this:
How cute. :3

Ah, I hate wolf spiders. They're cool when they protect you from the hobo spiders and the yellow sac spiders, which are both in the same family as the Black Widow. Jumping spiders are wicked cute though, they make me go "aw :3"
Also, even less know fact the daddy long-legs spider is that it actually isn't a spider. Well, that is if we are talking about the Harvestmen. It is actually just a relative of the spiders. However it is actually the Cellar Spider that is the most poisonous spider in the world, but cant actually bite you. And that one is the most common house spider in the world as well. The Cellar Spider is also known as the "Grandaddy longlegs."
